Duvall Dr. Mark Duvall’s research as program manager for electric transportation focuses on electric, plug-in hybrid and fuel-cell vehicles and related infrastructure. He is involved in battery systems development and testing, electric charging infrastructure, and the environmental analysis of the air quality and greenhouse gas emissions characteristics of plug-in hybrids and other electric transportation technologies. Dr. Duvall joined EPRI in 2001 and holds a doctorate degree in mechanical engineering from Purdue University. Neville Holt Neville Holt is the recipient of Lifetime Achievement awards from EPRI and the Gasification Technologies Council and is a technical fellow in the Advanced Coal Generation Technology Program. He is the technical lead for the CoalFleet program of Future Coal Generation Technology Options. He joined EPRI in 1994 and received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in chemistry from Cambridge University. Christine King Christine King is program manager of materials reliability in the Nuclear Power Sector. This program is the leading industry resource for material-related issues affecting the reactor coolant system pressure boundary. The program focuses on improving the fundamental understanding of materials performance in pressurized water reactors, and developing technologies for early detection and mitigation of emerging issues. With EPRI since 2001 she has a master’s degree in business administration from Lynchburg College. Carl L. Latiolais Carl Latiolais is program manager for the Nondestructive Evaluation Program, with a focus on the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Section XI, Appendix VIII qualification program. The U.S. nuclear fleet relies on this program to qualify procedures and personnel for ultrasonic examination of safety-related piping and vessels. He joined EPRI in 1994 and has a technical degree in nondestructive testing technology from T.H. Harris Vocational Technical School in Louisiana. Victor Niemeyer Dr. Victor Niemeyer is a technical executive in the Global Climate Change Program. His research focuses on helping energy companies manage risks from global climate change, particularly cost and competitive market implications of potential greenhouse gas policies. He has a doctorate in economics from the University of Texas at Austin. His fields of emphasis are energy economics, power market simulation, and environmental economics. Ellen M. Petrill Ellen Petrill is director of public/private partnerships. She creates partnerships to foster greater communications and awareness of research and development trends in the electric sector among stakeholder groups, regulators, and others. Her current activities focus on strategies and technologies to reduce climate change impacts, such as advanced coal, energy efficiency, the intelligent grid, and distributed energy resources. She joined EPRI in 1984 and has bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mechanical engineering from Stanford University. Andrew J. Phillips Dr. Andrew Phillips holds three U.S. patents and is the author of more than 60 journal and conference publications. He is a senior program manager for transmission lines and increased power flow research, focusing on overhead transmission, underground transmission, increased power flow, and high-voltage direct current. Special areas of interest are nonceramic insulators, lightning and grounding, sensor development, and daytime corona inspection. He has a doctorate in electrical engineering from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, and is a registered professional engineer. Richard G. Richels Dr. Richard Richels is a senior technical executive for global climate change research. He has served on national and international advisory panels, including committees of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the National Research Council. He served as an expert witness at the DOE’s hearings on the National Energy Strategy and testified at Congressional hearings on priorities in global climate change research. He was awarded master’s and doctorate degrees in decision science from Harvard University’s Division of Applied Sciences. Stan T. Rosinski Stan Rosinski is program manager of technology innovation, where he is responsible for incubating technology innovation within EPRI by directing fundamental, innovative, cross-cutting R&D to accelerate the application of advanced science and technology. With EPRI since 1995, he has a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and a master’s degree in metallurgy from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and received the honorary Professional Nuclear Engineer degree from the University of Missouri-Rolla. John Scheibel John Scheibel has been awarded several patents and has authored numerous technical papers. He is a program manager in the combustion turbines and combined cycle program, focusing on gas turbine/ combined-cycle design and related operations and maintenance issues. The program addresses all 50/60-Hz models used in power generation above 20 MW. He joined EPRI in 1987 as a project manager and has bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mechanical engineering from the University of Illinois in UrbanaChampaign. Jack C. Spanner, Jr. Jack Spanner is a program manager in nondestructive evaluation, focusing on nuclear reactor vessel head penetration nozzles, thin-film phased array search units, eddy current examination of lead sheathed distribution cable, American Society of Mechanical Engineers codes, reactor vessel internals inspection for license renewal, and filmless radiography. He is also responsible for reactor vessel integrity issues. He joined EPRI in 1993 and has a master’s degree in welding engineering from Ohio State University. Luke van der Zel Dr. Luke van der Zel is a project manager and technical expert in the substations program, focusing on sulfur hexafluoride insulation and leak detection, gas-insulated substations, power transformers, geomagnetically induced currents, sensors for substation monitoring, and wireless applications for substations. His research extends to field applications in EPRI member substations. He joined EPRI in 2001 and has bachelor’s and doctorate degrees in electrical engineering from the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. Thomas F. Wilson Dr. Thomas Wilson is a senior technical leader in global climate change, focusing on costs of climate change policies and the role of technology research and development in reducing these costs; estimating potential economic benefits from slowing or averting climate change; exploring flexible mechanisms in climate policies such as emissions trading; and providing information and methods to help electric utilities make decisions in the face of climate policy uncertainty. He joined EPRI in 1985 and received his master’s and doctorate degrees in operations research from Stanford University.
